In December 2020, elections were held for the renewal of the offices of the Supreme Council of the 33rd and Last Degree – Italian Community of Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite – 29 ° VII 6017.
The M.W and M.P. Bro. Gabriele Colzani 33 °, medical doctor in Turin, has been elected Sovereign Grand Commander. Bro. Colzani takes over from the M.W and M.P. Bro. Riccardo Cecioni 33 °, who ruled the Supreme Council from his foundation to date.
Our Grand Master and all the Brothers and Sisters of the GLLI having Scottish degrees wish Bro. Colzani all the best in his new position.
The Supreme Council of the 33rd and Last Degree – 29th VII 6017 is a Scottish Rite Masonic power established on 29th September 2017 (date from which, in the symbolic notation, it takes its name), with which on 16th March 2019 the Grand Liberal Lodge signed an agreement of cooperation.
The Grand Liberal Lodge of Italy is a Masonic community whose Lodges work only the first three degrees of symbolic Freemasonry, namely Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft and Master Mason. However, the initiatory path does not stop at the Third Degree but can continue in its improvement through what are commonly named “Rites”, which promote the research on themes that are linked to the Masonic Tradition and to the Hermetic Thought developed over the centuries.
The agreement with the Supreme Council of the 33rd and Last Degree therefore allows the Brothers and Sisters of the Grand Liberal Lodge to continue, once they have reached the degree of Master Freemason, if they wish, on their path of improvement by attending the Works of the Lodges of Perfection, Chapters and Consistories of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite.
The Italian community of the Scottish Rite – 29 ° VII 6017 operates as a regularly constituted cultural association, called “Associazione RSAA Italia 6017” with its operational headquarters in Turin.
